PROJECT INFORMATION
Lofdal Christian Academy (LCA) is a project that was launched by Lofdal Community Projects, a registered Non- Profit Organisation. LCA is an independent mission school, registered with the Department of Education. When LCA opened its doors in 1998 it did so with an intake of 50 learners. Today we have approximately 300 learners ranging from Gr. R to Gr.5.
To ensure the continued success of LCA, we have identified the following goals that we aim to achieve in the near future.
• The establishment of sport and recreation as well as arts and culture programmes/facilities for learners.
• A parenting skills course to equip parents with the requisite skills to face the challenges that present themselves in their everyday lives.
• Our main goal is, however to obtain donations to fund the building of a bigger school facility
Lofdal Nutritional Feeding Project
Lofdal Community Projects has, in addition to establishing LCA, identified the nutritional needs of children and people struck by poverty in surrounding communities and have initiated a feeding project to fight the ever- increasing malnutrition statistics in the Western Cape and broader Southern Africa region. We are currently feeding more than 45 000 individuals a month and are aiming to feed between 100 000 and 120 000 persons in the five (5) different impoverished communities that we have identified. These communities include: Bloekombos, Wallacedene, Parow, Franschoek and Maitland.
Our future goals include:
• Providing food to children and adults on a daily basis; and
• Obtaining donations to fund the purchase of a farm to serve as a job creation project and to produce fresh fruit and vegetables to supply the feeding project.
Lofdal House of Safety
Lofdal House of Safety is yet another project that has been launched under Lofdal Community Projects, that has several projects running in different communities, making a difference and impacting the lives of people in dire need. This project focuses on orphan children in the Western Cape, particularly those from impoverished communities. We have successfully remodeled a building and established a house of safety, where we are currently caring for more than 19 orphaned and high risk children between the ages of 5 months and 13 years. We provide them with the love they need and a place where they can feel safe. In this way we are creating a loving home environment where they can dream and pursue a future much brighter than their past.
Our future goals include:
• In the long term: to obtain funding to build a children’s village.
• In the short term: to collect donations to fund the building of a bigger House of Safety that will allow us to make a difference and care of 65 children, including children with HIV/AIDS.
Hadassah Boutique Hotel & Function Venue
The Boutique Hotel is a new venture that has been launched under Lofdal Community Projects. This facility was previously an old hotel that has been revamped and refurbished with unique pieces of art, making it the perfect venue for a wedding, conference or special meeting. This beauty is home to15 individually designed rooms, including en-suite bathrooms, as well as a honeymoon suite.
Hadassah Boutique Hotel also includes facilities such as a Coffee Shop, Bistro, Main Auditorium, conference rooms and different lounges. It is our belief that whatever we do, we endeavor to be different so that the memories of your visit will be everlasting, offering a unique and pleasant stay to all visitors from around the world. Hadassah Boutique Hotel is also the proud benefactor of some of the initiatives of Lofdal Community Projects.
